Picoplatin is an analog of cisplatin with a 2-methylpyridine ligand that displays anticancer chemotherapeutic activity. Picoplatin is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is in clinical trials as a potential treatment for prostate cancer. Picoplatin intercalates with GpG sequences in DNA and shows efficacy inhibiting tumor growth in vitro, in vivo, and in clinical settings.
